Where to begin...

Well, Zane and I made the decision to move in together. After 6 months of putting up with each other at great distances, we are bridging the gap to annoy each other more locally. Really, this is all Zane's doing, I have stayed in the same location. But over the course of the time we have been together he has creeped his way closer and closer.

When we first met, he was in Brooklyn, I felt safe. I never told him where I lived for 3 months until his background check came back clean. With an hour between us, I felt I had a decent head start when told he was visiting.

Then I needed more labor to paint my apartment. Zane misunderstood and assumed this meant I liked him but really I was just excited that he could reach the corners on the ceiling.

Next thing I know I have to move him mere blocks away from me. Not just moving him, but a combined "hey help me out, hey meet my parents" I fell for this trick and was unfortunately brought in closer to the family. They're nice I guess. A bit chipper for my liking. But that pastry lady sure can lift! The musician kept talking about this band book. I dunno, I blocked them out after the intros.

So that was August 2008. Now it's February 2009 and here I find myself hauling the same matress down the same stairs I could swear I had just done this. Zane has made his way into my home. Like a burrowing gopher. It started with a DVD here or there, then a shirt... Now I've got his crap everywhere. I feel the urge to record my experiences living with this odd boy. If I had my way I'd have titled this blog "From Sane to Zane".

Let us begin...

First 24 hours:
Hour 1: We stood in our new home and gazed over our lovely mess.
Hour 4: Zane insisted on bringing 3 girls over to try out his new "day bed"
Hour 5: Zane found out how lovely the sidewalk is. You'd be amazed how well his things fit out there too!
Hour 8: After 3 hours of banging on the windows, Julie finds it in her heart to issue him a pillow.
Hour 16: With the rain and wind, (and the banging on the window) Julie found it difficult to watch Zane's movies and finally gave in and let the bugger in.
Hour 24: Zane has begged to write to his parents, asking to please be sent home but his computer is locked up until he performs all of his assigned chores. Hope they hear from their son soon..... He looks really great in the maid outfit I got for him.
